NotifyIcom PLEASE HELP ME

Question

I think this should be pretty easy. I have an application which allows the user to be in various states (available unavailable etc) I have a public string variable in my application which holds the current state of the user. I would like to programatically change the text property of the applications notifyIcon to display the users current state when hovering over it. Can someone please help me

I cannot determine exactly which part you have a problem with but if its the change of the Icon menus and tool tip text I hope this helps: namespace Main { class frmMain : System.Windows.Forms.Form { public string sUserState; // I have assumed that you know how to control the sUserState value private NotifyIcon objNotifyIcon; private ContextMenu ctxMenu; // The icon files have been added to the project private Icon icoStatus1 = new Icon(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() .GetManifestResourceStream(frmMain.Status1.ico) 16 16); private Icon icoStatus2 = new Icon(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() .GetManifestResourceStream(frmMain.Status2.ico) 16 16); private frmMain() { objNotifyIcon = new NotifyIcon(); ctxMenu = new ContextMenu(); ChangeSystemTrayIconStatus(sUserState); objNotifyIcon.Visible = true; // Display the system tray icon } private void ChangeSystemTrayIconStatus(string sUserState) // Call this method the change the status for the system tray icon { objNotifyIcon.Text = sUserState; if (sUserState == Status1) objNotifyIcon.Icon = icoStatus1; else objNotifyIcon.Icon = icoStatus2; } private void frmMain_Closing(object objSender CancelEventArgs e) { objNotifyIcon.Visible = false; objNotifyIcon.Dispose(); } } }
